Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Abstract

An embedded resistor technique is disclosed in this article which offers a high level of reliability and programmability while keeping device area consumption to a minimum. General aspects of the disclosed resistor design technique are shown in the figures, and four interesting features unique to it are described below. 1) The resistor bed, as shown in the figures, is surrounded by ROI (recessed oxide isolation). This isolates it from neighboring resistor beds, thereby completely eliminating the danger of parasitic p-FET formation, enhancing reliability, and allowing unrestricted wirability across adjacent resistor beds. 2) The positive contact of the resistor is so designed as to maximize its area of contact, thereby compensating for contact depletion failure mechanisms at this contact.

Programmable Resistors

An embedded resistor technique is disclosed in this article which offers a high
level of reliability and programmability while keeping device area consumption to
a minimum. General aspects of the disclosed resistor design technique are
shown in the figures, and four interesting features unique to it are described
below. 1) The resistor bed, as shown in the figures, is surrounded by ROI
(recessed oxide isolation). This isolates it from neighboring resistor beds, thereby
completely eliminating the danger of parasitic p-FET formation, enhancing
reliability, and allowing unrestricted wirability across adjacent resistor beds. 2)
The positive contact of the resistor is so designed as to maximize its area of
contact, thereby compensating for contact depletion failure mechanisms at this
contact. Provision is also made for inclusion of the larger positive contact at
either end of the resistor, as dictated by device placement. 3) The negative
contact, as shown in the figures, is designed purposely small, since there is no
danger of contact depletion occurring at this contact. 4) Overall device size can
now be reduced to a minimum by programming the resistor with the negative
contact only, thereby optimizing the aspect ratio, L/W, and maximizing the
amount of programmable resistance available per unit area. The resistor is
programmable for all values up to its maximum length by simply positioning the
negative contact correctly.
